Netflix viewers think they’ve spotted big error during scene in controversial Monsters series

Viewers of Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story have noticed several minute details that they reckon may have overlooked while filming - one of which has gone viral on social media last week.

And no, we're not just talking about the nine-part true crime recreation's alleged 'inaccuracies', which have seen the series the subject of mass controversy since landing on the streaming service last week.

For those who haven't yet sank their teeth into the disturbing drama series - directed by American Horror Story's Ryan Murphy - the show focuses on the crimes committed by the Beverly Hills brothers in 1989, as well as their subsequent court case.

That year, the real Lyle and Erik Menendez brutally murdered their parents José and Mary Louise 'Kitty' with a shotgun at close range at their Los Angeles home.

Despite initially flying under the radar when it came to the police investigation - having claimed they were at the movies when the crime took place - the duo were eventually apprehended.

Erik had confessed to the murder during a recorded conversation with his therapist, the tapes of which were seized by police.

It wasn't until the brothers were placed on trial that they lifted the lid on the harrowing real reason for the crime, alleging they'd been subjected to years of sexual and emotional abuse at the hands of their father and under the watchful eye of their mother.

The Netflix series recreates some of the most chilling scenes that took place in the actual court case, which became a national sensation at the time, but ultimately ended in Lyle and Erik being sentenced to life in prison without parole.

As we say, however, the show has come under much scrutiny since its release - including by Erik Menendez himself who, from behind bars, issued a statement asking viewers to boycott the series.

It isn't just alleged errors of the plot which have been spotted by viewers, however, but mistakes made in the production.

And among the eagle-eyed fans of the show is one TikToker, who noticed what appeared to be a Ring Doorbell featuring in one of the scenes from episode two when the series landed earlier this month (17 Sept), despite the film footage doorbell firm not having been founded until 2013.

"Well, nothing says the 80’s like a Ring doorbell. Solid work," one viewer joked on X, while another questioned: "Now why is there a Ring doorbell in this scene set in the 80s?"

In fact, the clip seems to have kicked up such a fuss that the camera has since allegedly been edited out, and no longer appears during the scene in question.

As we say, however, there are several other aspects to the Menendez family story which have fallen under the criticism of followers of the case.

The timeline of Erik's original confession has been disputed, as has the hint at an incestuous relationship between the brothers.

And, as mentioned, the real Erik Menendez branded the series 'vile' and accused both Murphy and other Netflix producers of including 'blatant lies' about the brothers' crimes.
